You shouldn't do it, be narrow minded that is.
Lets say you are narrow minded about politics, like you believe that the Democrats are to blame for all the problems in the world, or that the Republicans are the cause for everything that is wrong with the world today.
I say you should not believe that just one party has been the root cause of everything that is wrong in the United States. Having these one-sided views is just wrong and you shouldn't do it.
If you are smart enough and take the time to look for information on the causes of some of the financial or economic problems facing the world right now you will find that many of the problems were created by a combined group effort and no single party is to blame for everything.
"Well sure, but it's MOSTLY the Republicans or Democrats," you say. That's just wrong and shows a lack of intelligent thought and basic reasoning.
But, it's OK I understand that there are many, many people in the world that lack the capacity for intelligent thought and basic reasoning and I really wish all those people would just STFU!

Wow, just wow!
Right now it seems that every retail store, outlet, mall or anybody that ever sold anything to anybody wants me to BUY STUFF!
Every radio and TV commercial I hear or see is about extracting money from my bank account!
It's like the worse the economy gets the harder the advertisers push. We all know this year is going to be a difficult one for retailers, but will spending millions on over-the-top advertising really help the bottom line?
Wal*Mart and Target Corp. are really pushing the fact that you can get stuff for cheap at their stores, new big-screen TVs and housewares, but isn't the age of over-consumption, mass-materialism and just having a bunch of stuff somewhat outdated?
When you are wondering if you are going to loose your job and how you will feed your family if you do loose your job, isn't thinking "hey, I need a whole new 12-piece place setting for my Thanksgiving table" the furthest thing from your mind?
I think this should be the time of year that we all focus on what is really important, family, friends and loved ones rather than "getting more stuff."
Man this trend is really sad to think about, what I really need to do to make myself happy is . . .
Go shopping and buy stuff!
